In honor of Ally's love of basketball and her ridiculous knowledge of college sports, we had Ally fill out a March Madness bracket and join our online bracket and my office pool. I printed out photos of all of the team logos and we showed Ally each match up with the logo and team name. She was very interested in doing the first found of games but then her attention slowly started to fade. We tried not to change her mind too often but she picked a couple of major upsets. She clearly had an affinity for bird mascots and teams with red. She also loved the Murray State horse. Karl just expected her to take Purdue all the way but she surprised us both and went away from both Purdue and Wisconsin. Her final four included UNLV, Ohio State, Kansas and Murray State with Kansas as her champion because she liked the "jayhawk in the sweater." As of today, she is in 4th place in the online pool and beating both of us. She correctly picked Lehigh over Duke and Ohio over Michigan but the UNLV loss hurt her. This was mostly a psychology experiment for me but she had fun and it will be fun to see where she ends up!
